blockchain

Blockchain in Financial Services is receiving a lot of attention, especially for synchronizing financial agreements between institutions. But how can blockchain be used outside of this context? Can it apply to use cases such as identity, fraud, and AML?
Watch this short webinar to hear how blockchain can be used to solve other key issues facing the industry, about research into consensus algorithms beyond proof of work, and about myths and truths that must be considered for a successful enterprise blockchain implementation.
Speaker: Nelson Petracek, CTO, TIBCO Software

Transformation technologies like IoT, blockchain, AI, cloud security, autonomous and chatbots
are all jostling for our attention. But which ones are considered important and which ones are
businesses actually using? In August 201
8, we asked 4,000 senior decision
-
makers across 21
markets to tell us how they felt about the different technologies
.
Fascinated to find out?

Marketers know innovation is business power and many report that cloud security delivers
more than any other innovation technologies. But when it comes to inspiration, IoT comes top,
with AI
and blockchain not far behind.

Whether you know it as Industry 4.0, the 4th Industrial Revolution, or Smart Industry, Manufacturing is going through a deep transformation, with changes that are centered around digitalization. While most industries are already on this digitalization path, the disruption is more visible and pronounced in manufacturing because it is expanding virtual data and processes into environments that have been fundamentally about physical products. This transformation has already started, and its impact is expected to be massive. Technical, economic, and social changes are expected across the whole manufacturing ecosystem, with jobs shifting from offshoring back to nearshoring. Strong technology elements driving this digital revolution include 3D printing, robotizing and automation, smart factory with IoT and machine learning, and supply chain digitization. Their impact is profound.

Whilst the FSI sector races to implement cutting-edge technologies such as AI, blockchain and automation, there are no mutually agreed upon set of best practices to implement these technologies. As a result, organisations are using their own blend of strategic initiatives and company culture to drive innovation, with varying levels of success. To help, this article features advice from five of the leading experts in the FSI and technology sector today.

As financial services firms embrace digital, they need business assurance strategies that extend conventional quality assurance methods to address the nuances of emerging technologies such as blockchain and advanced artificial intelligence (AI). At the same time, they also need assurance that their strategies can accommodate changes in the ever-shifting regulatory landscape wrought by
the acceleration of digital within the core of their businesses.
This white paper explores how financial firms can excel in digital by holistically addressing the quality of business processes built on disruptive technologies while assuring compliance to regulations.

In the last few years, a wave of digital technologies changed the banking landscape - social/ mobile altered the way banks engage with customers, analytics enabled hyper personalized offerings by making sense of large datasets, Cloud technologies shifted the computing paradigm from CapEx to OpEx, enabling delivery of business processes as services from third-party platforms.
Now, a second wave of disruption is set to drive even more profound changes - including robotic process automation (RPA), AI, IOT instrumentation, blockchain distributed ledger and shared infrastructure, and open banking platforms controlled by application programming interfaces (API). As these technologies become commercialized, and demand increases for digitally-enabled services, we will see unprecedented disruption, as non-traditional banks and fintechs rush into all segments of the banking space. This whitepaper examines key considerations for banks as they explore value in the emerging Digital 2.0 world.

Financial institutions seeking to attract new customers and revenue channels are expanding into digital services, real-time payments and global transactions. However, with every new service, criminals are developing innovative ways to infiltrate financial systems, and older technologies that mitigate fraud no longer work as effectively.
So how can financial institutions respond to this growing threat?
Fortunately, more advanced technologies hold great potential for real-time financial crime mitigation. Learn about five current and emerging technologies that could impact money laundering and fraud mitigation, including artificial intelligence/machine learning, blockchain, biometrics, predictive analytics (hybrid model) and APIs.

The transformation imperative is now the imperative of the entire enterprise. The challenge to leaders of top financial services firms is to build operating models that are ready for anything. Join American Banker Editor-at-Large, Penny Crosman, and former IBM Global leader for strategy and design, Robert Schwartz, as they discuss this idea, pulling clips from a recent event for industry leaders, including: Bridget van Kalingen, IBM on redefining success with cloud, AI, quantum and blockchain Shari van Cleave, Wells Fargo on rethinking data strategies in the age of AI Bret King, Moven on rebuilding the bank from the ground up Rob Bauer, AIG on the ways to get started with transformative projects Marty Lippert, MetLife on creating space for innovation by migrating core operations off of legacy infrastructure and many more

Blockchain, called the “tech breakthrough megatrend” by PWC¹, is rapidly gaining broad acceptance. According to IDC, global spending on this innovative technology is expected to reach $2.1 billion in 2018.² Across the globe, industries are investigating ways to use blockchain to increase trust across their business value chains and address primary challenges around complexity, transparency, and security.

n this webinar, Andy Baxendale and Euan Semplediscuss the future role of blockchain and how it could be specifically applied to human capital management systems. They look at:• Why HR has one of the best use-cases for blockchain technology• What aspects of HR would benefit most from blockchain technology • The potential overlaps between artificial intelligence and blockchain technology
